Magic Society.

 

Where the world’s greatest mages gather to discuss magic.

 

It was literally a society that led the future of the magical world.

 

Basically, various groups participated, starting from regional Magic Towers to magic guilds from different countries, and even Hero Academies.

 

Among these diverse groups gathering at the Magic Society, the Magic Towers held the strongest voice.

 

What was publicly famous were the mages belonging to Hero Academies or Royal Guilds.

 

This was natural since they had proven their abilities and built their reputation by being active on the front lines of battle.

 

However, a powerful mage is not necessarily the greatest mage.

 

They are merely those who use existing things best, while those who create new things, pursue change, and lead trends must inevitably be researchers who conduct research.

 

That was also the essence of magic.

 

The Magic Tower mages were the ones who best understood and pursued this essence of magic.

 

This year’s Magic Society was unusually held at Seirun. Other Hero Academies like Lumern, Ajonia, and Demian often hosted societies since they had high interest in magic as educational institutions representing each race.

 

However, the path of magic that Seirun basically pursued was different from the general path of magic.

 

Star Magic.

 

The magic system left by Luna, the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, who was considered the greatest mage since magic existed on this land.

 

This Star Magic was what Seirun pursued.

 

The unique magic of Elves alone.

 

Generally, new magical theories or interpretations presented at societies were often incompatible with Star Magic.

 

Added to that was Seirun’s characteristic exclusiveness.

 

With various factors overlapping, despite Seirun being the place that valued magic most among the four Hero Academies, Magic Society meetings were very rare.

 

Since a Magic Society was being held at such a Seirun, the magical world’s attention was focused.

 

***

 

Two days after midterm exams ended.

 

Lunch time.

 

Lower Class Students rushed out to eat lunch.

 

Although the Lower Class Students had achieved overwhelming results in the exam, the test results hadn’t been announced yet.

 

Therefore, the discrimination based on class rankings was still continuing.

 

However, there were no longer any students who were intimidated by that outward discrimination.

 

They had already proven their abilities through the exam.

 

There were no longer any middle or Upper Class Students who looked down on the lower class.

 

Rather, they were cautious when Lower Class Students passed by.

 

Even so, Lower Class Students still didn’t eat lunch in the cafeteria.

 

Lower Class Students prepared lunch in their hideout, the lounge, as always.

 

While making sandwiches for lunch, Eclaire came over with a bright smile.

 

“Hey guys, hello!”

 

After becoming friends with the Lower Class Students, Eclaire continued to hang out with them.

 

After the exam ended, Rea also ate lunch together.

 

Of course, Rea’s purpose was to meet Leo.

 

“Today we brought some other kids besides us, is that okay?”

 

“Yeah, it’s fine.”

 

Angr said with a grin.

 

“You can come in!”

 

When Eclaire gestured behind the door, famous students entered.

 

None other than the current 1st year 2nd place Elric and 4th place Yoinya.

 

The Lower Class Students’ eyes widened at the unexpected students’ appearance.

 

“They want to eat lunch with us.”

 

When Eclaire said with a bright smile, Yoinya spoke in a blunt voice.

 

“I just came because I have something to ask.”

 

Yoinya, who snorted with her arms crossed, approached Angr.

 

“You’re Angr, right? The lower class representative.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“I have something to ask. How were you able to improve your skills like that?”

 

Angr scratched his cheek.

 

He couldn’t say that he had read forbidden books designated by the school.

 

“Thanks to Teacher Laura and Leo Sunbaenim guiding us well.”

 

At Angr’s words, Yoinya glanced at Leo.

 

Then she approached him and greeted him politely.

 

“Nice to meet you, Leo Flobe. I’m Yoinya from the Tela family. I’ve heard of the Lumern Student Council President’s reputation. It’s an honor to meet you.”

 

Yoinya, who greeted elegantly like a daughter of a noble family, asked seriously.

 

“I’ll ask directly. How were the students here able to improve their skills so quickly in such a short time?”

 

“I just provided an opportunity. The skill improvement was achieved through each person’s individual effort.”

 

“Then please teach me about that opportunity.”

 

“I don’t particularly want to tell you.”

 

Yoinya’s eyes twitched.

 

“Is it because I’m from the upper class?”

 

“It means there’s no particular need.”

 

At those words, Yoinya made a puzzled expression.

 

“If you had properly demonstrated teamwork back then, Berus’s team wouldn’t have been able to achieve such an overwhelming victory. If I had to point out a regret, it would be that you’re paying too much attention to high-level magic?”

 

“You’re saying something similar to what the 2nd year seniors said.”

 

Yoinya fell into thought.

 

Rather than denying reality after defeat, she was trying to find a breakthrough somehow.

 

Then Rea, who had brought a sandwich on a plate, handed it to Leo and said.

 

“After the exam ended, quite a few students in the upper class have questioned the existing teaching methods. Yoinya is one of those students.”

 

It was natural since they had been overtaken in skill by Lower Class Students overnight.

 

While enjoying the meal, Eclaire tilted her head.

 

“I suddenly became curious about something.”

 

“What is it.”

 

“How do Lumern’s freshmen compare to us?”

 

At those words, the movements of the Seirun freshmen who were eating lunch stopped completely.

 

Lumern and Seirun.

 

They were rivals who competed in the Lu-Sei War, and the current Lumern freshmen were rivals who would compete with Seirun students in the future.

 

While everyone made tense expressions at Eclaire’s question, Leo said.

 

“What’s there to compare? Both you guys and our school kids are just chicks who just took their midterm exams.”

 

At those words, Elric adjusted his glasses.

 

“I am curious though. I heard before that Lumern currently has a ‘mentor’ system, right? You also have a mentee, don’t you?”

 

At those words, Rea, who was munching on her sandwich, perked up her ears.

 

Rea turned her head frighteningly and stared at Leo with wide eyes.

 

“I do.”

 

“If it’s your mentee, they must be famous, right? Knight Academy’s Aina Beidna? Havidon Birsen? Or maybe Summoning Department’s Shasha Sienne Roden? If not that, then Magic Department’s Juwen Torbina?”

 

“Elric… you know the names of Lumern freshmen quite well.”

 

When Eclaire said with an amazed expression, Elric answered.

 

“They’re rivals we’ll be competing against. It’s perfectly natural to keep track of strong opponents.”

 

Listening to Elric’s words, Rea’s eyes burned fiercely.

 

‘Who is it! To receive direct guidance from Flobe Sunbaenim! Such an enviable person!’

 

Angr bit into his sandwich roughly as if tearing meat.

 

“It’s a guy named Luke.”

 

“Luke? Elric, do you know anything?”

 

“…It’s the first time I’m hearing that name.”

 

Elric scratched his head.

 

‘Luke! From today, you’re my enemy!’

 

Rea burned with fighting spirit inside.

 

Luke had suddenly made an enemy of Seirun’s first-year top student.

 

“By the way, the conference starts tomorrow, so I wonder what kind of magical theories will be presented?”

 

“Personally, I’m curious about something called [Introduction to Star Magic]. Even though Seirun calls it a blasphemous grimoire, the idea that it’s a reinterpreted technique allowing anyone to use star magic. As a mage, I can’t help but be curious.”

 

At Yoinya’s words, the entire lower class inwardly flinched.

 

[Introduction to Star Magic].

 

It was none other than the driving force behind this great reversal.

 

‘A conference. I should go out to meet Associate Professor Anna this evening too.’

 

***

 

That evening.

 

Seirun was busy preparing to welcome outside guests.

 

It was very rare for so many outsiders of all races to visit Seirun at a time other than Lusejeon.

 

No matter how deeply the Pure Blood Society’s influence cast its shadow over Seirun, these were world-class mages.

 

Among them were many mages who had risen to heroic status by having their names inscribed in the Hero Record, so the conference attendees could not be treated poorly.

 

All students gathered in front of the courtyard to welcome the conference-attending mages.

 

“Whew! Cold! So cold!”

 

Early evening.

 

Runia, who had been shivering in the cold wind, looked to the side and narrowed her eyes.

 

“You know you really stand out dressed like that, right?”

 

Runia said, clicking her tongue.

 

At those words, Leo chuckled.

 

“It’s the uniform I always wear, isn’t it?”

 

Leo was wearing none other than Lumern’s uniform.

 

Leo had also attended this magic conference to assist Associate Professor Anna.

 

As a result, he naturally came to represent Lumern and naturally wore Lumern’s uniform.

 

But at this time when no one had arrived yet.

 

Leo, boldly wearing Lumern’s uniform among all the gathered students, stood out far too much.

 

Runia clicked her tongue watching Leo, who didn’t bat an eye despite all of Seirun’s students’ gazes being directed at him.

 

‘Sometimes I think this guy has iron plating on his face.’

 

“The Seirun uniform would suit you well too.”

 

She was grumbling slightly when.

 

Just then.

 

Mages began arriving at the courtyard.

 

“Welcome to Seirun.”

 

Each time mages appeared, the students voiced their welcome in unison.

 

Among them, Leo, who had been watching the arriving mages, spotted Associate Professor Anna and approached her.

 

“Associate Professor Anna.”

 

“Ah! Student Leo!”

 

Associate Professor Anna discovered Leo and smiled brightly.

 

“How has life at Seirun been?”

 

“Yes. It’s been interesting.”

 

“…I can clearly see you must have had a hard time.”

 

Associate Professor Anna looked at her student with a bitter smile.

 

“Anyway, leave this conference to me.”

 

Associate Professor Anna made a determined expression.

 

“I can’t let Student Leo suffer any more emotional distress.”

 

“Ah, about that.”

 

Leo smiled.

 

“I’ve caused quite a stir at Seirun.”

 

“…”

 

Watching Leo smile, Associate Professor Anna felt an ominous feeling.

 

“What… does that mean?”

 

“I’ll tell you the details when we get to the dormitory.”

 

***

 

“It’s been a while, Teacher Herdium.”

 

“It has been a while.”

 

Herdium warmly exchanged greetings with the elf mage who greeted him cheerfully.

 

He was none other than the Northern Mage Tower’s tower master.

 

Alglen Begs.

 

He was such an outstanding mage that despite being an elf, he had secured the position of Northern Mage Tower master.

 

Despite such abilities, he was not a Seirun graduate.

 

The reason was simple.

 

Because he couldn’t master star magic.

 

Several Seirun teachers looked at him with narrowed eyes.

 

They were from the Pure Blood Society.

 

However, they couldn’t treat a mage who was a Northern Mage Tower master carelessly.

 

“I’m looking forward to this conference as well.”

 

“Yes. But for this conference, rather than me.”

 

Alglen smiled and grabbed the shoulder of a girl beside him, pulling her toward himself.

 

“I’d like you to look forward more to my daughter’s performance.”

 

A beautiful woman who appeared to be in her early twenties bowed her head toward Herdium.

 

A half-elf.

 

Several Pure Blood Society teachers’ faces openly contorted, but Herdium didn’t mind.

 

“That’s unfortunate. If Miss Anyas had enrolled at Seirun, her achievements would surely have been remarkable.”

 

When Herdium spoke with a regretful expression, Alglen smiled.

 

“My daughter isn’t very interested in becoming a hero.”

 

“What? Isn’t she material for becoming a hero?”

 

“No, I won’t become a hero.”

 

Anyas shook her head.

 

Herdium made a puzzled expression watching such Anyas.

 

It was when the father and daughter finished their greetings and began to move.

 

“Father. Look over there.”

 

Alglen looked where his daughter pointed.

 

“Oho.”

 

And discovering Leo, who stood out clearly among the Seirun students with his distinctive attire, his eyes lit up.

 

“So that’s Leo Flobe.”

 

Alglen’s eyes sparkled.

 

‘The same all-class as the Great Hero of Shadows.’
